"It is to be noted in this context that it is quite impossible to judge the polarity of an act or an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet."
To sum up the disagreement: you read the quote to say, "It is to be noted in this context that it is quite impossible to determine the polarity of an act or an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet," while I read it to say, "It is to be noted in this context that it is quite impossible to judge the relative goodness of the polarity of an act or an entity, just as it is impossible to judge the relative goodness of the negative and positive poles of the magnet."
Accurate?
Your argument was that there was only one pole. Would you accept "axis" instead of "pole?"
